PERSONAL INJURY
Impaired Driving Accident Lawyers in Richmond, VA
Drunk and drug-impaired drivers make reckless choices — and innocent people pay the price. If you or a loved one has been injured by someone driving under the influence, you deserve answers, accountability, and full compensation for what you’ve lost.
At Friedman Fisher Verity PLLC, our Richmond impaired driving accident lawyers aggressively pursue justice for victims of DUI crashes. We’re not here to excuse inexcusable behavior — we’re here to hold it accountable.
We Take Impaired Driver Injury Cases Personally
We believe in fighting for the people who were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. When an impaired driver causes serious harm, we’re here to make sure you’re not left with the consequences — physically, financially, or emotionally.
Civil VS Criminal Cases
Even if the driver is arrested or charged with DUI, that won’t automatically compensate you for your injuries. Criminal cases punish the offender — civil cases help you recover.
Our job is to prove that the impaired driver’s negligence caused your harm and pursue the maximum compensation you’re entitled to. We work with investigators, medical experts, and accident reconstruction specialists to strengthen your claim from the ground up.
Let’s talk. We’ll answer your questions, explain your options, and lay out a clear strategy. There’s no fee unless we win your case.
Impaired Driver Accidents Are Preventable, and Punishable
Every impaired driving crash could have been avoided. Yet every year in Virginia, people are seriously injured or killed by drivers under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or prescription medication.
We handle cases involving:
Drunk drivers (DUI/DWI)
Drivers impaired by marijuana or other substances
Prescription drug impairment
Repeat or high-BAC offenders
When a reckless driver shatters your life, we build a case that reflects the full extent of your losses — medical bills, missed work, future care needs, and the emotional trauma that comes with being hit by someone who should never have been behind the wheel.
Can I sue a drunk driver who hit me in Richmond, VA?
Yes. If you were injured by a drunk or impaired driver, you can file a civil claim to recover damages — even if criminal charges are also filed. Our Richmond impaired driving accident lawyers can handle the civil side while the state handles the criminal case.
What compensation can I receive in a DUI-related injury case?
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, future care, and more. In some cases, punitive damages are also available to punish the impaired driver’s reckless conduct.
What if the driver wasn’t charged or convicted of DUI?
How long do I have to file a claim after an impaired driving accident in Virginia?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim. But the sooner you contact an attorney, the better, as evidence can disappear quickly.
